"I am really irked at the mounting foot. It seems so flimsy I expect it to certainly break off eventually. I'd like to see a return to the wrap-around locking metal collars of older speedlights." Dear Terry I made a similar comment to a professional photographer once concerning my SB-26, which is cracking at the foot. His theory was that it was designed deliberately that way. Which makes sense: it is easier (and more cost effective) to replace a broken foot, than the camera's hot-shoe. This is just a theory, mind you. Neil Afrique du Sud
